CHICAGO, Nov. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe: CBOE) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2022.

"Cboe delivered record adjusted earnings in the third quarter of 2022, building on the strong results produced over the first half of the year. The robust trends were driven by our derivatives franchise, supported by sizable contributions from our data and access solutions and cash and spot markets during the quarter," said Edward T. Tilly, Cboe Global Markets Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Through the early part of the fourth quarter, we have seen positive momentum in our derivatives business as we continue to expand access to our core products. The enhancements we have recently made, including the addition of Tuesday and Thursday expirations for SPX options and the expansion of our trading hours, continue to help reshape trading behavior and expand the overall market. More broadly, we are investing in innovative solutions that leverage our ecosystem spanning cash markets, data and derivatives markets around the globe. Our business has never been on stronger footing, and we look forward to continuing to deliver increased value to our shareholders and customers."

"In the third quarter, Cboe produced another quarter of record-setting net revenue and adjusted earnings results," said Brian N. Schell, Cboe Global Markets Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. "Continued market uncertainty, coupled with the investments we have made across our cash, data and derivatives categories, helped drive Cboe's outperformance in the third quarter. Net revenues from derivatives markets grew 31 percent, data and access solutions grew 15 percent, and cash and spot markets finished 5 percent higher on a year-over-year basis. Moving forward, we are increasing our 2022 total organic net revenue growth2 expectations to a range of 14 to 16 percent, up from our prior guidance range of 9 to 11 percent. In addition to raising our revenue guidance, we are reducing our expense guidance range to $651 to $659 million, down from $659 to $667 million. We are excited by the robust volume trends in our core proprietary products as we head into the end of the year, complemented by healthy activity in our data and cash businesses. Furthermore, we look forward to continuing to make the necessary investments across our ecosystem to drive consistent and durable returns for Cboe shareholders in the quarters ahead."

*All comparisons are third quarter 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

(2)

Specific quantifications of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the company's organic growth guidance, adjusted operating expenses guidance and the effective tax rate on adjusted earnings guidance are not available. The company believes that there is uncertainty and unpredictability with respect to certain of its GAAP measures, primarily related to acquisition-related revenues and expenses that would be required to reconcile to GAAP revenues less cost of revenues, GAAP operating expenses and GAAP effective tax rate, which preclude the company from providing accurate guidance on certain forward-looking GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations. The company believes that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the range of the company's organic growth, adjusted operating expenses and the effective tax rate on adjusted earnings would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors for the reasons identified above.

  • Total revenues less cost of revenues (referred to as "net revenue") of $442.4 million increased 20 percent, compared to $369.5 million in the prior-year period, reflecting increases in net transaction and clearing fees1 and access and capacity fees. Inorganic net revenue1 in the third quarter of 2022 was $5.3 million.
  • Total operating expenses were $205.6 million versus $178.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $26.8 million. Adjusted operating expenses¹ of $172.8 million increased 23 percent compared to $140.3 million in the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to the acquisitions of Cboe Digital (formerly ErisX) and NEO, as well as an increase in salaries, wages, and bonuses resulting in higher compensation and benefits expense.
  • The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2022 was 34.4 percent compared with 30.7 percent in the third quarter of 2021. The increase is primarily due to an increase in reserves for unrecognized tax benefits. The effective tax rate on adjusted earnings1 was 29.0 percent compared with 28.5 percent in last year's third quarter. The higher effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to favorable non-recurring adjustments in the third quarter of 2021.
  • Diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2022 increased 26 percent to $1.41. Adjusted diluted EPS1 of $1.74 increased 20 percent compared to 2021's third quarter results.

Discussion of Results by Business Segment1:
Options:
  • Options net revenue of $255.5 million was up $63.3 million, or 33 percent, from the third quarter of 2021. The growth was driven by double-digit increases in net transaction and clearing fees2, access and capacity fees, and market data. Net transaction and clearing fees increased primarily as a result of a 49 percent increase in Index options trading volumes versus the third quarter of 2021, along with a 5 percent increase in Index options revenue per contract ("RPC") for the quarter. Access and capacity fees were 25 percent higher than third quarter 2021 and market data fees were 26 percent higher than third quarter 2021.
  • Net transaction and clearing fees2 increased $59.6 million, or 40 percent, reflecting a 15 percent increase in total options average daily volume ("ADV") and a 21 percent increase in total options RPC compared to the third quarter 2021. The increase in total options RPC was due to a mix shift, with Index options representing a higher percentage of total options volume. The RPC for Index options increased 5 percent as higher-priced SPX options accounted for a higher percentage of Index options volume.
  • Cboe's Options business had total market share of 33.8 percent for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 31.3 percent in the third quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting an increase in Cboe's multi-listed options market share for the quarter of 28.6 percent compared to 27.6 percent in the third quarter of 2021.
North American (N.A.) Equities:
  • N.A. Equities net revenue of $96.7 million was up $11.1 million, or 13 percent, primarily due to higher transaction and clearing fees and access and capacity fees. The 2022 acquisition of NEO contributed $5.4 million in net revenue for the quarter.
  • Transaction and clearing fees were helped by a 12 percent increase in U.S. equities industry volumes as compared to the third quarter of 2021. Net capture increased 18 percent year-over-year, a result of enhancements to Cboe's pricing plans.
  • Cboe U.S. Equities exchanges had market share of 13.3 percent for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 14.0 percent in the third quarter of 2021, negatively impacted by an increase in Trade Reporting Facility (TRF) market share.
Europe and Asia Pacific (APAC):
  • Europe and APAC net revenue of $44.5 million decreased by 8 percent, reflecting softer transaction and non-transaction revenues. On a constant currency basis2, net revenues were $51.6 million, up 6 percent on a year-over-year basis. European Equities average daily notional value ("ADNV") traded on Cboe European Equities was €9.7 billion, up 34 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2021, outperforming a 1 percent decline in industry market volumes. Net capture decreased 13 percent for the quarter, reflecting a mix shift with the strongest gains coming in Lit market share, outpacing the growth in higher-capture Cboe BIDS Europe and Periodic Auction services, as well as from the impact of volume pricing tiers with higher volumes and higher market share in the third quarter of 2022 when compared to the third quarter of 2021.
  • For the third quarter of 2022, Cboe European Equities had 24.6 percent market share, up from 18.2 percent in the third quarter of 2021, as a result of positive momentum across all orderbooks, making Cboe the largest stock exchange and block trading venue in Europe in the third quarter.
Futures:
  • Futures net revenue of $28.4 million decreased $0.5 million, or 2 percent, due to a decline in net transaction and clearing fees2, offset slightly by an increase in access and capacity fees and market data fees.
  • Net transaction and clearing fees2 decreased $0.9 million, or 4 percent, reflecting lower volumes during the quarter.
Global FX:
  • Global FX net revenue of $17.3 million increased 21 percent, primarily as a result of higher net transaction and clearing fees2. ADNV traded on the Cboe FX platform was $41.3 billion for the quarter, up 27 percent compared to last year's third quarter, and net capture per one million dollars traded was $2.68 for the quarter, down 3 percent compared to $2.77 in the third quarter of 2021.
  • Cboe FX market share was 17.8 percent for the quarter compared to 17.0 percent in last year's third quarter, which is a quarterly record for Cboe FX.

2022 Fiscal Year Financial Guidance

Cboe provided guidance for the 2022 fiscal year as noted below.

  • Organic net revenue growth1 is expected to be in the range of 14 to 16 percentage points in 2022, up from previous guidance of 9 to 11 percentage points.
  • Reaffirmed revenue from acquisitions held less than a year1 is expected to contribute total net revenue growth in a range of 2 to 3 percentage points in 2022.
  • Reaffirmed organic net revenue1 from Data and Access Solutions is expected to increase by approximately 10 to 13 percent in 2022, from a base of $419 million in 2021.
  • Adjusted operating expenses1 in 2022 are now expected to be in the range of $651 to $659 million, from a base of $531 million in 2021, down from previous guidance of $659 to $667 million. The guidance excludes the expected amortization of acquired intangible assets of $123 million; the company plans to reflect the exclusion of this amount in its non-GAAP reconciliation.1
  • Reaffirmed depreciation and amortization expense for 2022, which is included in adjusted operating expenses above, is expected to be in the range of $40 to $44 million, excluding the expected amortization of acquired intangible assets.
  • Reaffirmed the effective tax rate1 on adjusted earnings for the full year 2022 is expected to be in the range of 27.5 to 29.5 percent. Significant changes in trading volume, expenses, tax laws or rates and other items could materially impact this expectation.
  • Capital expenditures for 2022 are now expected to be in the range of $43 to 48 million, down from $47 to $52 million.

(1) Specific quantifications of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the company's organic and inorganic growth guidance, adjusted operating expenses guidance and the effective tax rate on adjusted earnings guidance are not available. The company believes that there is uncertainty and unpredictability with respect to certain of its GAAP measures, primarily related to acquisition-related revenues and expenses that would be required to reconcile to GAAP revenues less cost of revenues, GAAP operating expenses and GAAP effective tax rate, which preclude the company from providing accurate guidance on certain forward-looking GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations. The company believes that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the range of the company's organic growth, adjusted operating expenses and the effective tax rate on adjusted earnings would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors for the reasons identified above.

Capital Management

At September 30, 2022, the company had adjusted cash1 of $355.3 million. Total debt as of September 30, 2022 was $1,859.8 million, a decrease of $99.4 million from June 30, 2022.

The company paid cash dividends of $53.4 million, or $0.50 per share, during the third quarter of 2022. There were no share repurchases in the third quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP Information

In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with GAAP, Cboe Global Markets has disclosed certain non-GAAP measures of operating performance. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP measures provided in this press release include net transaction and clearing fees, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, organic net revenue, inorganic net revenue, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net (loss) income allocated to common stockholders and adjusted diluted earnings per share, effective tax rate on adjusted earnings, adjusted cash, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin.

Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release, including adjusted operating income, organic net revenue and adjusted operating expenses, provide additional and comparative information to assess trends in our core operations and a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by management are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with an alternative method for assessing our financial condition and operating results.

Organic net revenue, inorganic net revenue, organic non-transaction revenue and organic net revenue guidance: These are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or have otherwise been adjusted for the impact of our acquisitions for the period or guidance, as applicable. Management believes the organic net revenue growth and guidance measures provide users with supplemental information regarding the company's ongoing and future potential revenue performances and trends by presenting revenue growth and guidance excluding the impact of the acquisitions. Revenues from acquisitions that have been owned for at least one year are considered organic and are no longer excluded from organic net revenue from either period for comparative purposes.

Amortization expense of acquired intangible assets: We amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with various acquisitions. Amortization of intangible assets is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions. As such, if intangible asset amortization is included in performance measures, it is more difficult to assess the day-to-day operating performance of the businesses, the relative operating performance of the businesses between periods and the earnings power of the company. Therefore, we believe performance measures excluding intangible asset amortization expense provide investors with an additional basis for comparison across accounting periods.

Acquisition-related expenses: From time to time, we have pursued acquisitions, which have resulted in expenses which would not otherwise have been incurred in the normal course of the company's business operations. These expenses include integration costs, as well as legal, due diligence, impairment charges, and other third-party transaction costs. The frequency and the amount of such expenses vary significantly based on the size, timing and complexity of the transaction. Accordingly, we exclude these costs for purposes of calculating non-GAAP measures which provide an additional analysis of Cboe's ongoing operating performance or comparisons in Cboe's performance between periods.

The tables below show the reconciliation of each financial measure from GAAP to non-GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of those items detailed below and are referred to as adjusted financial measures.

The company sponsors deferred compensation plans held in a trust. The expenses or income related to the deferred compensation plans are included in "Compensation and benefits" ($0.1 million and $0.3 million in expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $2.6 million and $1.7 million in expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively), and are directly offset by deferred compensation income, expenses and dividends included within "Other income, net" ($0.1 million and $0.3 million in income, expense and dividends in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $2.6 million and $1.7 million in income, expense and dividends in the nine  months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively), on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The deferred compensation plans' expenses are not excluded from "adjusted operating expenses" and do not have an impact on "Income before income taxes."

(10)

Adjusted operating margin represents adjusted operating income divided by adjusted revenue less cost of revenue.

EBITDA Reconciliations

EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA are widely used non-GAAP financial measures of operating performance. EBITDA margin represents EBITDA divided by revenues less cost of revenues (net revenue). It is presented as supplemental information that the company believes is useful to investors to evaluate its results because it excludes certain items that are not directly related to the company's core operating performance. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back to EBITDA acquisition-related expenses, gain on investment, loan forgiveness, investment establishment costs, goodwill impairment, and impairment of investment. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as substitutes either for net income, as an indicator of the company's operating performance, or for cash flow, as a measure of the company's liquidity. In addition, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be calculated identically by all companies, the presentation here may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue.
